Rofl. Bro Pasadena gets hot as fuck. You need to look up North Tustin right now. It's a non coastal city in OC. It beats Pasadena by a mile. If you look up Coto de Caza, again another non coastal city In OC, it also beats Pasadena but by 100 miles.

Nah this was insanely stupid, but I think it had more to do with Vegas being a completely artificial city that shouldn't exist. You could literally blank L.A. and insert any major U.S. city. NYC, SF, D.C., Boston, literally every city with a population above 500k. It's true of Houston, except that 85% of Houston's "neighborhoods" are wastes of space you would never want to set foot in.

pasadena fucking sucks unless you are rich enough to live in a few of the out-of-reach pockets, and you're still surrounded by SPS in almost every direction. the worst is buying into the shitty parts at outrageous prices just for the school districts. $2.1 million for anything that won't be a money pit or has a decent amount of space for a family, and even then you're being swindled by the L.A. market insanity. moving there is the ultimate striver move for the young professionals strivers who automatically reject the hipsterism of los feliz and immediately know they can't hang with the santa monica rat race. they won't swallow their pride and move to the valley so you end up with these assholes climbing over each other to get a rundown 2-bedroom rambler on outskirts of pasadena.
